Sponsor Spotlight: Wishfulness

Hi, my name is Chelsea and Wishfulness is my little etsy shop, a place for girls to get pretty vintage dresses and accessories. I'm a graduate student studying to become a therapist, an office associate at another college, and a blogger/etsy shop owner in the free time that I can find. :)

It's always been a dream of mine to own a shop where girls can find affordable clothing and accessories. As I got older, I developed an appreciation and love for vintage and started a huge personal collection of vintage dresses and tops. Honestly, I started Wishfulness as a way to clean out my closet -- I had this big collection of vintage dresses and not a lot of space to keep them in, but as I started listing dresses, I realized that it was a lot of fun and I was enjoying meeting and interacting with other Etsy ladies. One thing I noticed once I opened up my shop was a lack of affordable vintage shops out there. There are tons of beautiful shops that carry so many pretty pieces, but I know that a lot of them didn't fit my budget, and I figured that there were probably a lot of other girls in the same situation as me.I also love crafting, and I've been using vintage fabrics to make pretty little headbands and hairclips as well. I hope to eventually expand my shop to include more vintage accessories, jewelry, and even some home decor. I love owning an etsy shop because it gives me a chance to pursue a lot of my hobbies on my own time and share them with others!! A random fact about me: My favorite colors are teal and mustard yellow.........but I'm always embarrassed to tell people that, because who picks those colors? So specific! Hahaha.
